Eighty
Five miles and Twenty one hours and we arrive in Falmouth Harbour,
Antigua. The reason for our visit is that we owe another cruiser a couple
of cases of beer for a wind generator which he swapped with us, so we arrive and
drop anchor, do the handover and decide that it is such a glorious day and the
wind just right to continue with the journey South, we up anchor and one hour
and thirty minutes after arrival we are on our way to Pigeon Island,
Guadeloupe. And so on the 19th March at 23.00 we drop anchor in Guadeloupe
where we will be joined by Ray and Irene,( CDrifters) this is one of our
favourite spots with glorious snorkelling in the Cousteau Marine
Park. On 22nd March we move down to the South of the Island to Bass Terre
where we are waiting for the winds to change from Southerly so we can continue
down to Martinique. On the 24th March at 08.45 we begin a very, very windy
sail with choppy seas and lots of salt water baths, however we make St Pierre,
Martinique at 04.00 on the 25th, A large ‘anchor drink’ sends us sleeping
soundly until it is time to meet with C Drifters and do the check in.
